This past weekend was the Minnesota Quilters Show in Duluth, MN. I didn’t attend any of the lectures or classes this time, but I was able to take Friday off work to drive up and explore the show. It was definitely worth the drive (~2.5hrs each way) to see some of these spectacular quilts. This is my favorite of all the quilts at the show. ...
I finished the Mario Quilt this week! I used fusible grid to make this process really quick and painless: Fusible grid is a thin piece of interfacing that has iron-on adhesive on one side and grid lines printed on the other. There are different brands of fusible grid, and it comes in different grid sizes. For this quilt, I used a 2″ fusible grid from...

Did anyone catch last week that I didn’t finish sewing my basket case quilt top like I said I was going to? After I posted last week’s post, I noticed I didn’t ever do that. So I sat down and started sewing immediately to get that done even if I was a day or two late. I’ve gotten comments about how people like my weekly...

Yesterday, I mailed by Maker’s Birthday Bash present to my partner! I am so excited to share my process on how I made the diamond quilt I posted a few weeks ago. Diamonds are the birthstone of April babies, so what better quilt to make! The Diamond is paper pieced from a sketch I made on graph paper. I drew and redrew the diamond until...
